I was looking into our code and there is nothing explicitly sending 
this, it's too low-level. I believe it's caused by attempts to read from 
that partitions (agent reads the data every 10 secs, so it matches the 
pattern). To be honest I actually don't know if that's wrong or not I'm 
not storage expert, so CCing Federico to shed some light into this.
